"A Girl snake-Catcher.

She lives in Maiden; she is II years
old. or Whereabouts, and she is an
ophiologist-that is to say, her speci-
atty is snakes. Very often, in pleas
ant summer weather, this young girl,
with hands clad in high buck gloves
and armed with a bottle of chloroform,
Turks about the fens, and pools, and
thickets watching for snakes, girl
fair to look upon, sauntering, one
might imagine, with eyes upon the
ground, in maiden meditation, fancy
free. She is in maiden meditation, in
deed, but not fancy free, because her
fancy is bound to snakes and she is
searching intently for some variety
not yet added to her collection of
several hundred Presently she
stops; with an eager CLEAN in her eye
she crouches along a step or two, her
glove-clad right hand drawn back as
if to clutch some object; she springs
forward toward the ground with a
swift motion, and then stands erect
with the body of snake writhing
about her arm in desperate throes.
She has it by the neck and proceeds
calmly to thrust its head into the neck
Not many days ago this young
scientist, after rather desperate con-
test, captured in the fells black-snake
so large and powerful that when it
wrapped itself in the mad grasp of its
body about her arm it strained her
cords and muscles SO severely that she
was lame for a week. 1t did not pre-
vent her, however, from sallying forth
again, and when she happened to per-
ceiye, at the margin of pool, n big
water-snake of a variety which she
had not secured for her collection, she
lay in wait for it. AS the snake
pounced upon a frog she bounced upon
the snake; but the reptile was in his
element, and escaped her Was she to
be batiled in that way? Not at all. She
managed to anchor frog in some way
upon stone at the edge of the pool,
at spot where the bank was over
hung with bushes Then she stealthily
laid herself Hat upon her face under
the bushes at the brink of the water,
and there she lay in ambush for a long
time, while the snake curiously eyed the
frog. AT last the snake, with sudden
resolution, made bold to seize the frog;
but as he did so a gloyed hand, swift
er than his own sinuous motion, darted
from the bank, and he was prisoner,
splashing the water of the pool in his
vain effort to escape. The girl has one
grief-she has not been able to capture
with her own hands rattlesnake.-

Grant County 4erald,
What he has done for his Party.

UHdt H6 HIS uOHb lot Ills Iartys
The following facts and figures are
taken from statement made in an adj
ministration organ in Maryland, to
show Democrats there, who are in
clined to grumble at Mr. Cleveland's
having left a few Republicans in office,
what the President has really done for
his party, in the Postoffice Department
alone.
New York has PIG presidential post
offices. OF this number there are yet
forty-seven Republicans in charge all
appointees of a former adminstra ton.
Quite a number of these expire in jan
nary, and Mr.. Cleveland, it is asserted
will lose no time in filling them with
Democrats, notwithstanding the fact
that the state contains q few Mug
wumps.)
Illinois is second in the number of
its presidential postofices. having 10,
of which Is remain in the hands of Re-
publicans. Pennsylvania has 1863, with
20 Republicans stillin office; Ohio, 1876
twenty six Of which have not been sup
piled with Democrats; Massachusetts,
l26 with % rascals still in; Iowa 124
with only z; Kansas Ito with 6; Mich
igan LOG, IA of which are still presided
over by Republicans. Our own state
Wisconsin, comes next in order with
n presidential postoflices screen Of
which are yet to be filled by Mr. Cleve-
land. Missouri has IS, 5 Of which
have not been changed since the adj
vent Of the present administration; Ne
braska has "A with unchanged; Texas
10, with IA; California, Go. with 9;
New Jersey, Ga, with 8 still in,
Connecticut. 50, with 8; Min
nesota, 81. with g. Kentucky, 80, with
only one Republican; New Hampshire,
~, with 2; Virginia, 81, with 3; Maine,

sas, II, with 3; Florida, II, with /;
West Virginia, 10. with / Oregon, 10
with 5; Lou isiana, Y. all being sup
piled with Democrats; Rhode Island, II
two only being Republicans; Nevada,
Z, with unchanged, aud Delaware, 6,
with Republican holding the fort al
Newark
This list is made up on the suppose
ton that all the previous appointees
are Republicans, which is not the case.
In the territories the proportion OF
Democrats installed in Office is some
what smaller. This is perhaps due tc
the fact that official patronage counts
for less in the territories, and post
offices are not such important factors
politically as in states.
The above is certainly pretty good
showing of what Nj Cleveland has
done for his party, but unless one car
believe that all those removals have
been made on account Of incompetency
or for causes other than party advan-
tage, who shall say that his acts have
not been at variance with his profes.
sions and that his civil service pre-.
tentlons were not a hoax?

The President and the Baltimore
Election.


Ii is admitted by George William
Curtis, and indeed cannot be denied by
any fair minded person who has studied
the situation, that the recent triumph
Of the German crowd in Baltimore was
made possible by the attitude of the
President toward this most corrupt ring.
What is the matter with that once
boosted vertebral column? The Presi-
dent has let Senator German. who is
one of the shrewdest political managers
in this country, "work" him until when
the time came for him to take decided
stand in relation to the action of his
subordinates in this campaign, his hands
were tied. 1t was losing game
either way
If he had shown any disapprobation
OF the interference of ofice-holders
with elections, and the German ring
had been beaten as a result, be would
not only have lost their support, but
the defeat would have been construed
by many Republican organs as a re-
buke to the administration On the
other hand, the triumph Of the ring,
which is largely, as we have said to be
attributed to the President, will have n
tendency to withdraw from him the
support and sympathy Of all true civil
service reformers. The result of the
election shows that his position has
gained him more votes in that section
than he has lost. 1t is to be hoped that
ne viii lose enough somewhere else,
whore they will count for more, to bal.
ancc the account.

The Philadelphia Times thinks that
the final collapse Of the Panama canal
scheme, which evidently cannot be much
longer delayed, will be one of the great
est financial crashes Of the century. 1t
is from French people OF moderate re.
sources, it says, that the great bulk Of
this capital has been secured. The
original shares are largely held by women,
and the recent loan was chiefly taken by
the holders Of small estates. The finan.
cial all of thousands upon thousands Of
people is embarked in this chimerical en-.
terprise. and its failure will leave them
penniless. 1t does not require the fore.
sight Of q prophet to see that the splendid
reputation of De Lesseps is certain to be
o bscured by this failure and that those
who recently praised him as the greatest
of living Frenchmen will heap curses and
excavations upon his head.

offered to sell them for half what they
paid, nobody would buy. Last Monday
